Funded PhD – Identifying immune signatures associated with severe dengue virus infection
Six billion people will be at risk of dengue virus infections by 2080 and we still lack a cure and effective vaccines for dengue. Read more
Role of T and NK-cell immunity during dengue virus infection and impact of immune modulation during therapy
A PhD position is available to study the role of human T and NK-cell immunity during infection with dengue virus (DENV), a flavivirus that is transmitted by infected Aedes mosquitoes. Read more
PhD in Infection, Immunity, Antimicrobial Resistance & Repair - Understanding the interactions of Dengue virus with the immune system and its impact on disease
SUMMARY. Natural killer (NK) cells are critical for killing virus-infected cells but can also cause immunopathology. This project investigates whether Dengue virus manipulates NK ligands to prevent NK cell killing and whether NK cells contribute to dengue pathogenesis. Read more
Hijacking mechanism of dengue virus on human plasmin to enhance the permeability of mosquito midgut for infection.
Dengue virus (DENV) is mosquito-borne virus that survive by cycling between mosquito vectors, principally Aedes aegypti, and human hosts. Read more
PhD in Infection, Immunity, Antimicrobial Resistance & Repair - Clonal aging of anti-viral T cells impacts protective immunity
SUMMARY. The induction and persistence of effective antigen(Ag)-specific memory T-cell responses is required to bestow long-term protection against infectious diseases, and hence is critical to vaccine development. Read more
White Rose BBSRC DTP: Understanding the role of piRNAs in mosquito immunity
Vector-borne diseases afflict humans, livestock and plants – for example, according to WHO, vector-borne diseases comprise ~17% of all infectious disease of humans – and also threaten biodiversity by their impact on endangered species. Read more
Fully-funded White Rose BBSRC DTP Biology project: Understanding the role of piRNAs in mosquito immunity
Lead supervisor. Prof Luke Alphey. Co-supervisor. Prof Sean Sweeney. The student will be registered with the Department of Biology. Read more
Once bitten, twice shy: the impact of helminth infection on viral immunity
About the Project. SUMMARY. Although studies suggest that soil-transmitted helminth (STH)-infections influence human papillomavirus (HPV) infection (once bitten), it is not known how STH infection influence how they then deal with repeated exposure to the virus (twice shy). Read more
Viral manipulation of host cell biology for biogenesis and immune evasion.
This project will investigate mechanisms of assembly, secretion and immune subversion adopted by (+)RNA viruses, with a particular emphasis on Dengue/Zika from the flavivirus and SARS-CoV-2 from the coronavirus families. Read more
Controlling airborne infectious disease transmission in indoor environment
Infectious disease pandemics are brutal killers in human history. The recent COVID-19 outbreak in China has killed over 2.4K people globally, and more than 78K people are infected across 28 countries (As of 22th Feb 2020). Read more

Virology: Unique Antiviral Therapy targeting Zika and Related Viruses
Zika Virus (ZIKV) has emerged as a new mosquito-borne threat to public health after the devastating South American outbreak. Read more
Virology: Sun exposure as a novel risk factor for Zika virus infection
Mosquito-borne disease is now receiving unprecedented attention due to major outbreaks in new geographic areas including Brazil, Mexico, India, China, the Middle East and SE Asia. Read more
Platelets in health, ageing and disease: new diagnostics and treatments
Platelets are small blood cells that play a vital role in the chronic and acute progression of Cardiovascular Disease (CVD), and also have roles in immunity, inflammation, cancer metastasis, Alzheimer's disease and a range of infections, such as dengue, HIV-1, malaria, and COVID-19. Read more
